Alexis Thompson Still Tops News About 14-Year-Olds

DESPITE FALLING OFF the pace today at the Navistar LPGA Classic, amateur sensation Alexis Thompson is still the talk of the LPGA Tour and golf this weekend and remains the big headline grabber among 14-year-old girls.

Playing against the world’s best women golf professionals, Thompson shared the 36-hole lead after shooting rounds of 65 and 69. Today she shot a two-over 74, but didn’t sound too disappointed.

“It’s just one of those days that your game is off,” Thompson said. “That’s golf.”
